Violation of DUI Probation in Manhattan Beach

DUI Probation Violations

Being on probation for DUI requires you to comply with certain conditions as ordered by the court. If you violate these conditions, your probation can be revoked and you may be sentenced to jail or prison, depending on the severity of the original charge. If the violation consisted of committing an additional offense, or being charged with this, that matter will also have to be separately addressed and may carry its own consequences. If you have been accused of violating your probation, contact a Manhattan Beach criminal defense lawyer right away. Probation violations may consist of:

Failing to pay fines issued for your DUI
Driving on a suspended license
Failing to attend any alcohol treatment program ordered by the court
Refusing to submit to a chemical test if stopped on suspicion of drunk driving
Driving with any measurable amount of alcohol in your system
Committing any other criminal offense (traffic infractions are not considered criminal offenses)
Failing to complete any required community service
Failing to appear for any of your post-conviction court dates
